...compared in one scene to that of a Czech farmer. He is seen in long shot (one of the film's few long shots) surrounded by his home, his field, and his dog, at one with the environment. (In contrast, the few long shots of the Marys are always chosen to emphasize the unreality of their lives; for instances, one shot is of Mary standing in the middle of a field by a tree full of obviously plastic fruit). Hopelessly fragmented, the Marys cannot relate to a whole environment--the farmer doesn't hear their calls. Later, a group...
...scientists, Clifford Frondel and Elso Barghoorn of Harvard Hurley, Klaus Biemann and of Harvard Hurley, Klaus Biemann and Gene Simmons of M.I.T. and Dr. John Wood of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, were chosen on the basis of proposals submitted by them to NASA and judged by a team of experts. Approximately 150 investigators were approved, according to previous work in minerology, geology and related fields...
Five of the reservation's neediest families were chosen at random for the hous es. Once selected, however, the families had to be talked into accepting the new homes. One reason for their reluctance was that the relatively luxurious housing is bound to cause jealousy and antagonism on the part of the other 45 families.

...dependent on the U.S. Washington could funnel huge amounts of money southward, and little would be accomplished for the people of Latin America if the funds were siphoned off, as so often in the past, by the ruling classes. Neither extreme scenario, of course, is likely to be chosen-especially not the latter. The Nixon Administration's options are too limited by other crises abroad and at home. At $605 million, Nixon's aid request for Latin America is the lowest submitted by a U.S. President in a decade, and Congress in its present mood is sure...

Tricia Nixon was clearly, as London's admiring Daily Sketch put it, "America's little princess." The papers wrote columns on her blonde, Dresden-doll beauty and easy grace as she moved through a schedule that might have daunted a seasoned diplomat: tea with the wife of Prime Minister Harold Wilson, a spate of cocktail parties, and a trip to Wimbledon for the tennis quarterfinals-not to mention the investiture. Even her father's erstwhile opponent Hubert Humphrey...
